- Hi Brigitte, the lines should go away over time. Here is the response from the designer: "When stitching in either 10x10 blocks or a page at a time this can happen that the lines are visible. To reduce this for future works it is best to stitch a few extra stitches either side and not just straight 10 x 10 blocks. This has not happened to me however I have heard once the finished design is washed, pressed and stretched for framing these lines usually disappear." -- Marv Schier from Crosstitch.com -- Feb 20

About Copyrights:
Copyright patterns may not be copied and given to someone else. It's against the law and it's dishonest. On the Internet, one copy can quickly turn into one million which basically takes away the need for people to buy the patterns, which puts the designers out of business. You can give away, trade, or sell the original leaflet though.
In the case of Crosstitch.com patterns, which are by subscription, all patterns are for the members personal use only and may not be given away or re-distibuted in any manner.
